1 Samuel 30
1 Nnansa so, Dawid ne ne mmarima koduu Siklag. Na Amalekfo abɛtow ahyɛ Negeb so ahyew Siklag pasaa,
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu, lapho uDavida labantu bakhe befika eZikilagi, amaAmaleki ayehlasele iningizimu, leZikilagi, ayitshaya iZikilagi, ayitshisa ngomlilo,
2 akyekyeree mmea ne mmofra ne mpanyin a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa. Wɔankum wɔn mu biara, mmom, wɔsoaa wɔn de wɔn kɔe.
athumba abesifazana ababephakathi kwayo; kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu kawabulalanga muntu, kodwa abaqhuba, ahamba ngendlela yawo.
3 Bere a Dawid ne ne mmarima no huu sɛnea Siklag asɛe ne asɛm a ato wɔn abusuafo no,
Lapho uDavida labantu bakhe befika emzini, khangela, wawutshisiwe ngomlilo, labomkabo, lamadodana abo lamadodakazi abo sebethunjiwe.
4 wotwaa agyaadwo ara kosii sɛ afei na wontumi ntwa agyaadwo no bio.
UDavida labantu ababelaye basebephakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi akaze aba khona kubo amandla okukhala.
5 Dawid yerenom baanu a wɔne Yesreelni Ahinoam ne Karmelni Abigail a na ɔyɛ Nabal yere no ka wɔn a wɔsoaa wɔn kɔe no ho.
OmkaDavida bobabili labo babethunjiwe, uAhinowama umJizereyelikazi loAbigayili umkaNabali weKharmeli.
6 Dawid ho yeraw no yiye, efisɛ na mmarima no adwene ho sɛ wobesiw no abo, esiane wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea a wɔakyekyere wɔn no nti. Nanso Dawid nyaa ahoɔden wɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn mu.
UDavida wasecindezeleka kakhulu, ngoba abantu babekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe, ngoba umphefumulo wabantu bonke wawubuhlungu, ngulowo lalowo ngenxa yamadodana langenxa yamadodakazi akhe. Kodwa uDavida waziqinisa ngeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe.
7 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo Abiatar se, “Fa asɔfotade no brɛ me.” Na Abiatar de bae.
UDavida wasesithi kuAbhiyatha umpristi indodana kaAhimeleki: Akungilethele lapha i-efodi. UAbhiyatha waseyiletha i-efodi kuDavida.
8 Na Dawid bisaa Awurade se, “Mintiw dɔm no ana? Mɛto wɔn ana?” Awurade buaa no se, “Yiw, tiw wɔn. Na biribiara a wɔafa afi mo nkyɛn no, mo nsa bɛka ne nyinaa.”
UDavida wasebuza eNkosini esithi: Ngixotshane laleliviyo yini? Ngizalifica yini? Yasisithi kuye: Xotshana lalo, ngoba uzalifica lokulifica, ubakhulule lokubakhulula.
9 Enti Dawid ne ne mmarima ahansia no sii kwan so. Ankyɛ biara na woduu Besor asuwa no so.
Ngakho uDavida wahamba, yena labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ababelaye, bafika esifuleni iBesori lapho abasalayo bahlala khona.
10 Nanso mmarima no mu ahannu de, na wɔabrɛbrɛ yiye nti wɔantumi antwa asu no. Ɛno nti, Dawid de asraafo ahannan a wɔaka no toaa so.
Kodwa uDavida waxotshana labo, yena labantu abangamakhulu amane; ngoba abangamakhulu amabili basala, ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakuchapha isifula iBesori.
11 Asraafo no bi huu Misraimni barima bi wɔ wuram hɔ ma wɔde no brɛɛ Dawid. Wɔmaa no brodo sɛ onni ne nsu sɛ ɔnnom.
Basebefica umGibhithe emmangweni, bamletha kuDavida, bamnika ukudla, wadla, bamnathisa amanzi;
12 Wɔsan maa no borɔdɔma ɔfam sin bi ne bobe aba ɔbɔnta, efisɛ na hwee nkaa nʼano nnansa; awia ne anadwo. Ankyɛ na onyaa ahoɔden.
bamnika ucezu lwesinkwa somkhiwa lamahlukuzo amabili ezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo. Kwathi esedlile umoya wabuyela kuye, ngoba wayengadlanga kudla, enganathanga manzi, insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.
13 Dawid bisaa no se, “Hena nipa ne wo, na wufi he?” Obuae se, “Meyɛ Misraimni, na Amalekni bi akoa ne me. Nnansa ni na me wura gyaw me hɔ, efisɛ na meyare.
UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungokabani? Uvela ngaphi? Wasesithi: Ngilijaha leGibhithe, inceku yomAmaleki, lenkosi yami ingitshiyile ngoba bengigula okwensuku ezintathu.
14 Yɛkɔtoaa Keretifo wɔ Negeb a ɛyɛ Yudaman wɔ Kaleb asase so, na yɛhyew Siklag.”
Thina besihlasela iningizimu yamaKerethi, lakwelakoJuda, leningizimu yakoKalebi, leZikilagi sayitshisa ngomlilo.
15 Dawid bisaa no se, “Enti wubedi mʼanim akɔ wɔn nkyɛn?” Aberante no buae se, “Sɛ wode Onyankopɔn din bɛka ntam sɛ worenkum me anaa worensan mfa me mma me wura de a, ɛno de, medi wʼanim de wo akɔ.”
UDavida wasesithi kulo: Ungangehlisela kuleloviyo yini? Laselisithi: Funga kimi ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungibulala, njalo kawuyikunginikela esandleni senkosi yami, besengikwehlisela kuleloviyo.
16 Na Misraimni no dii wɔn anim kɔɔ Amalekfo no atenae. Bere a Dawid ne ne mmarima no duu hɔ no, na Amalekfo no ahwete wɔ sare no so a wɔredidi nom na wɔde ahosɛpɛw resaw, efisɛ na wɔanya asade bebree afi Filistifo nkyɛn ne Yuda asase so.
Selimehlisile, khangela, babehlakazekile ebusweni bomhlaba wonke, besidla, benatha, begidela impango enkulu ababeyithethe elizweni lamaFilisti lelizweni lakoJuda.
17 Dawid ne ne mmarima to hyɛɛ wɔn so, kunkum wɔn wɔ afoa ano anadwo mu no nyinaa, kosii adekyee no anwummere. Amalekfo no mu biara antumi anguan, gye mmarima ahannan a wɔtenatenaa yoma so guanee no.
UDavida wasebatshaya kusukela libantubahle kwaze kwaba kusihlwa kosuku olulandelayo lwabo. Njalo kakuphunyukanga muntu kubo, ngaphandle kwamajaha angamakhulu amane, agada amakamela, abaleka.
18 Dawid gyee biribiara a Amalekfo no fae, san gyee ne yerenom baanu no.
UDavida wasekhulula konke amaAmaleki ayekuthethe, labomkakhe bobabili uDavida wabakhulula.
19 Biribiara anyera; sɛ ɛyɛ akumaa anaa ɔpanyin, abarimaa anaa abeawa anaa biribiara a wɔfae sɛ asade no, Dawid de ne nyinaa san bae.
Njalo kakusilelanga lutho kubo kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu, kuze kube semadodaneni lemadodakazini, lempangweni, ngitsho lakuphi ababezithathele khona; uDavida wakubuyisa konke.
20 Nʼakofo no kaa nguan ne anantwi no de wɔn bae. Na wɔkae se, “Eyinom nyinaa yɛ Dawid asade.”
UDavida wasethatha zonke izimvu lenkomo. Baziqhuba phambi kwenkomo lezo, bathi: Le yimpango kaDavida.
21 Na woduu Besor asuwa no so no, wohuu mmarima ahannu a ɔbrɛ dodow nti, wɔantumi ne wɔn ankɔ no. Dawid kyiaa wɔn anigye so.
UDavida wasefika kulabobantu abangamakhulu amabili ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakulandela uDavida, abathi kabahlale esifuleni seBesori; basebephuma ukumhlangabeza uDavida lokuhlangabeza abantu ababelaye. Lapho uDavida esondela kubantu, wababuza impilakahle.
22 Nanso Dawid mmarima no mu asɛmpɛfo bi kae se, “Wɔne yɛn ankɔ nti, wɔrennya asade no bi. Momfa wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma mma wɔn, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, womfi yɛn ani so nkɔ.”
Basebephendula bonke abantu ababi labakaBheliyali phakathi kwabantu ababehambe loDavida bathi: Njengoba bengahambanga lathi, kasiyikubanika empangweni esiyikhululileyo, ngaphandle kwakuleyo laleyondoda umkayo labantwana bayo, ukuthi babakhokhele bahambe.
23 Nanso Dawid kae se, “Dabi, anuanom! Monnyɛ nea Awurade de ama yɛn no ho pɛsɛmenkominya. Wakora yɛn so, aboa yɛn ama yɛadi yɛn atamfo so nkonim.
Kodwa uDavida wathi: Kaliyikwenza njalo, bafowethu, ngalokho iNkosi esiphe khona, esilondolozileyo, yanikela esandleni sethu iviyo eleza lamelana lathi.
24 Mugye di sɛ sɛ moka no saa a, obi betie mo? Sɛ yɛrekyɛ a, momma yɛnkyɛ no pɛ mma wɔn a wɔkɔ ɔsa ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ akode so nyinaa.”
Pho, ngubani ozalilalela kuloludaba? Ngoba njengesabelo salowo owehlela empini sinjalo isabelo salowo ohlala lempahla; bazakwabelana ngokulinganayo.
25 Efi saa bere no, Dawid yɛɛ eyi mmara, maa Israel nyinaa na wɔda so di so saa ara de besi nnɛ.
Kwasekusiba njalo kusukela mhlalokho kusiya phambili, ukuthi wakwenza kwaba yisimiso lesimiselo koIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla.
26 Bere a Dawid duu Siklag no, ɔsoma ma wɔde asade no bi kɔmaa Yuda mpanyimfo a na wɔyɛ ne nnamfonom kae se, “Mo akyɛde a yɛfa fi Awurade atamfo nsam ni.”
UDavida esefikile eZikilagi, wathumela okwempango kubadala bakoJuda, kubo abangane bakhe, esithi: Khangela, isibusiso senu esivela empangweni yezitha zeNkosi.
27 Wɔde akyɛde no kɔmaa wɔn a wɔwɔ Bet-El, Ramot a ɛwɔ anafo fam ne Yatir;
KwabeseBhetheli, lakwabaseRamothi yeningizimu, lakwabaseJatiri,
28 wɔn a wɔwɔ Aroer, Sifmot, Estemoa
lakwabaseAroweri, lakwabaseSifimothi, lakwabaseEshithemowa,
29 ne Rakal ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Yerahmeelfo nkurow mu ne Kenifo kurow mu,
lakwabaseRakali, lakwabasemizini yamaJerameli, lakwabasemizini yamaKeni,
30 ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Horma, Bor-Asan, Atak,
lakwabaseHorma, lakwabaseBorashani, lakwabaseAthaki,
31 Hebron ne mmeaemmeae a Dawid ne ne mmarima kyinkyinii hɔ nyinaa.
lakwabaseHebroni, lendaweni zonke lapho uDavida ahamba khona besiya le lale, yena labantu bakhe.
